My diploma was handed to me on the stage.

I was pretty shocked when they had some random black guy from HR that I never saw before move in front me to shake my hand for the photo on the stage as if he had something to do with my education, while the actual dean pulled back and moved my department head out of reach. Education is 95% politics and 2% useful. Fortunately, in engineering, the 2% is invaluable. This why universities' days are numbered.
